什么是Photoshop中的图层和蒙版？

Photoshop can be confusing. It’s a massive program with countless tools and techniques. However, it’s not the advanced stuff that throws most people, but the very basics. As soon as you start using Photoshop, you’ll probably need to use Layers and Layer Masks. If you don’t wrap your head around them, you’ll never be able to get much further.

Photoshop可能会造成混乱。 这是一个包含无数工具和技术的庞大程序。 但是，引发大多数人的不是高级的东西，而是最基本的东西。 一旦开始使用Photoshop，您可能需要使用“图层”和“图层蒙版”。 如果您不专心于它们，那么您将永远走不下去。

So, let’s take a look at what Layers and Layer Masks are, and how to use them to edit your photos. (And if you’re new to Photoshop, be sure to check out our 8-part beginner’s guide to Photoshop too.)

因此，让我们看一下“图层”和“图层蒙版”是什么，以及如何使用它们来编辑照片。 (如果您是Photoshop的新手 ，请务必同时阅读我们的8部分Photoshop入门指南 。)

什么是图层？ (What Are Layers?)

Photoshop is built on the idea of layers and the layer stack. Everything you do in Photoshop takes place on a layer. All the layers in a document are arranged one on top of the other. Whatever is on the layer at the top of the stack appears above the content on all the Layers below.

Photoshop是基于图层和图层堆栈的思想构建的。 您在Photoshop中所做的一切都在一个图层上进行。 文档中的所有层都一层一层地排列。 堆栈顶部的图层上的任何内容都显示在下面所有图层的内容上方。

The easiest way to think of it is to imagine you’re a kid again making a collage in school. You start with a white background sheet, cut some pictures out from a magazine and stick them to the page. Maybe you grab a marker and add write something on top. All your materials are physically layered. You can take a picture from the bottom of the pile and move it to the top. Or you can take something from the top and move it to the background. The only difference with Photoshop, obviously, is that the layers are digital.

想到它的最简单方法是，想象您还是个在学校里拼贴的孩子。 您以白色背景纸开始，从杂志上剪下一些图片并将其粘贴到页面上。 也许您抓住一个标记并在上面添加一些内容。 您的所有材料均已物理分层。 您可以从堆的底部拍照，然后将其移到顶部。 或者，您可以从顶部取出某些东西并将其移至背景。 显然，与Photoshop的唯一区别是图层是数字的。
